Ye Zhi guessed, "It seems the other members of the Chu family are using this matter as an excuse to attack your husband, wanting to pull him down from his current position?"
Zhang Danni looked at Ye Zhi in shock. She hadn't said anything, yet Ye Zhi had guessed it all?!
Indeed, internal strife within the Chu family was severe. Those people constantly found various excuses to fault her husband, which tied his hands and made his progress arduous.
The fact that Guan Qi had not proactively cooperated with Taoxun had naturally become their excuse.
This wasn't something that could decide the company's fate, but for some reason, those people had learned about the past grievances between Zhang Danni and Ye Zhi. They then used this to attack her husband, claiming that the company's president's wife was Ye Zhi's enemy, and Ye Zhi would definitely seek revenge on the company because of it. The best solution was for the company to completely sever ties with them and their couple.
Zhang Danni felt wronged. She knew her own capabilities were insufficient, and she hadn't interfered with any company affairs after marriage. Moreover, she had been resting at home and looking after her pregnancy, so how could this become a reason for them to attack her husband?
Zhang Danni was also anxious. She felt she was dragging her husband down and wished she could help, but she couldn't do anything.
Therefore, she had coincidentally met Ye Zhi today and mustered the courage to greet her.
"Y-yes, that's right," Zhang Danni said with a complicated expression. "President Ye, you truly are a godsend with your predictions..."
Zhang Danni had truly not expected that she was unsure how to even start explaining the Chu family's scheming and infighting to Ye Zhi, yet Ye Zhi had, with just a few words, completely guessed the truth of the matter!
Zhang Danni deeply felt the disparity in intelligence. The thought that she had once regarded Ye Zhi as a 'love rival,' believing Ye Zhi was also interested in Ou Minghan, that 'scumbag,' made Zhang Danni so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into a crack in the earth.
"Never mind the predictions," Ye Zhi said calmly. "I've heard about the Chu family's internal strife. If Guan Qi wants to have in-house brands, it will follow the normal procedure. The qualification review for cooperative brands is handled by dedicated personnel; I won't interfere."
"Th-thank you, President Ye..." Receiving Ye Zhi's assurance, Zhang Danni was overjoyed. She felt that just saying thank you wasn't sincere enough. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and said with certainty, "President Qi will definitely like the gift you sent!"
Ye Zhi, who was drinking milk, nearly spat it out upon hearing this.
Did Zhang Danni even know about her relationship with Qi Xuan?
"How did you know I was sending it to him?" Ye Zhi asked, putting down her milk with confusion.
"Ah... news of you and President Qi has spread throughout Kyoto..." Zhang Danni became somewhat bewildered. "Haven't you two been together for a long time? I heard you even attended the Internet Conference together."
Ye Zhi: ...
It felt a little strange. Was she the last to know about her relationship with Qi Xuan?
Suddenly, Zhang Danni seemed to remember something and asked with some trepidation, "Did I guess wrong? President Ye, please rest assured, I definitely won't say anything about this!"
Ye Zhi: ...
What was Zhang Danni thinking? Could she possibly think she was keeping some young gigolo?
"You didn't guess wrong, I did buy it for him," Ye Zhi thought for a moment. Fearing Zhang Danni would misunderstand further, she continued, "He and I are dating right now, and there's nothing to hide about it."
Zhang Danni suddenly understood. She got it!
Ye Zhi was taking the initiative to make their relationship public, and she even said there was nothing to hide. Did that mean Ye Zhi wanted her to help spread the news of her official relationship with Qi Xuan?
Easy peasy! Her social circle was full of wives and socialites; spreading news would be a piece of cake!
"Okay, President Ye, I understand!" Zhang Danni promised with conviction.
Ye Zhi looked bewildered. What did Zhang Danni understand? Why was she even more confused now?
Never mind, she had explained herself clearly, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Afterward, they didn't chat much more and left the coffee shop.
When Ye Zhi left work that afternoon, she inquired with Taoxun Games. Guan Qi had already submitted the application according to the normal procedure and was currently in the qualification review stage. This brand had no negative news, and its quality had always been excellent, so there were basically no issues.
After inquiring, Ye Zhi didn't pay further attention to it.
Zhang Danni's transformation had indeed surprised her. After all, the woman who used to be arrogant, overbearing, and so foolish she dared to drive directly into people was now a normal person, and her actions were now considerate. Even for the sake of someone she cared about, she would consider her methods.
Of course, the cooperation with Taoxun this time could only solve Zhang Danni's immediate crisis. Guan Qi still needed the couple to work hard to change their situation.
In the evening, Ye Zhi returned home and put all the ties she had packed into the closet.
She didn't want to give these gifts yet.
Following Zhang Danni's suggestion, she planned to order a few subtly luxurious and meaningful tie clips to pair with the ties before sending them.
Customization takes time, so she could only wait.
After putting away the gifts, Ye Zhi took out her phone and called Zhan Ruoqing.
When the call connected, Ye Zhi directly asked, "I'm going on a date with Qi Xuan to the amusement park this weekend. What should I prepare?"
Zhan Ruoqing's voice became a little more plaintive, "...Are you deliberately calling to flaunt your love?"
"No," Ye Zhi said with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "It's just that I genuinely have no experience in this area, so I wanted to ask you."
"Then just look at what other couples do and follow their lead!" Zhan Ruoqing replied grumpily.
"What if some couples are arguing?" Ye Zhi had a sudden thought.
Zhan Ruoqing's eyes immediately lit up. "Now you're talking! Learn! You absolutely must learn! Don't you know that couples' relationships get better the more they argue?! So, any argument not aimed at breaking up is a display of affection!"
Ye Zhi: ...
She understood. She had asked the wrong person!
After joking around with Zhan Ruoqing for a few minutes, Ye Zhi hung up the phone.
Forget it, she would figure this out later. In fact, Zhan Ruoqing's suggestion wasn't bad. If all else failed, she could learn from other couples.
On the weekend, Ye Zhi and Qi Xuan, dressed in comfortable sportswear, went to the amusement park together.
As they parked the car, Qi Xuan took out a mask and offered it to Ye Zhi. "Do you want to wear one?"
"Why wear this?" Ye Zhi asked, confused.
"Your photos have been exposed online. There are many people here, and you might be recognized," Qi Xuan explained.
"No need," Ye Zhi said with a wry smile. "No one else is wearing a mask. If only I do, won't that attract more attention?"
